Commentary on Zechariah 1:11
The angels' report: 'We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.' This describes world conditions circa 520 BC—Persia had stabilized after Darius suppressed rebellions. Yet this 'rest' is problematic; Israel remains weak under foreign rule while their oppressors enjoy peace. The report sets up the question: when will God judge nations and restore Israel? The angels' report creates tension between present reality (Gentile prosperity) and prophetic promise (Israel's restoration).
